No new monstrous cavalry units and the like, just when everyone was starting to assume they were standard issue. I'm not sure army creep is a serious issue at the moment, and I certainly don't know how to even address such a topic in the environment of the End Times.Hoodlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507134198601519253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766783090193307178.post-18521819090801472142014-12-19T02:56:31.446-08:002014-12-19T02:56:31.446-08:00I agree that GW should remove the army creep, I fe...I agree that GW should remove the army creep, I feel they have done a reasonable job of balancing the books. I still think that it should be looks. lore and play style that appeals to the player base, however some armies do need some more choice and dimension, i.e. Bretonians knights on foot might be a nice alternative. I actually converted chaos warriors into forsaken because I liked the stories and concept of the unit.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04085492666079449292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766783090193307178.post-63112332856105279232011-08-02T04:43:04.810-07:002011-08-02T04:43:04.810-07:00The mighty Great Bearded Mole.

They did start it last edition with the release of the Empire and Orcs and Goblins, both being relatively balanced books then but each one after that has been a leap-frog effect. I am still yet to read the TK book, but I have not heard of anything that has made the collective wargamers cry - so that can only be a good thing.<br /><br />I do like the monsters, as long as it fits with the army. So far they have done well to integrate the big beasty in with the rest of the stuff, without it being a huge powerhouse. I am afraid of what will happen when they get to armies where they don't really have a place; Bretonnians and Dwarfs for example. I fear they will get something just for the sake of everyone having something big and nasty. Sometimes, they just don't need it.Kuffehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362276686961154685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766783090193307178.post-75535325274411763152011-08-02T02:26:10.696-07:002011-08-02T02:26:10.696-07:00I confess, I am yet to really see much of the new ...I confess, I am yet to really see much of the new Tomb Kings in action.

At the rate GW are going, we could have an entire suite of 8th ed army books in three years or so. If they are all as balanced as the first two, we're in for a happy time in warhammer. Let's hope they see it through.<br /><br />I don't mind the howdah thing so much, mostly as I love the models. Yes, the candy work on me. I will say though, there's quite a difference from the new orc and goblin list and the tomb king list, in both style of play and unit choices and abilities, so I'm not over worried about the lists being homogenised.Mr Saturdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092917415087033316noreply@blogger.com
